Col. Patrick Kaune and Command Sgt. Maj. Garrick Griffin, the Fort Knox garrison command team, battle a blaze coming from a mock fixed-wing aircraft's turbine engine at Godman Army Airfield Oct. 4, 2018. The flames for the training are generated from burners that use propane fuel, which burns nearly 500 times less hot than airplane fuel, according to firefighters.
